Since I will be attending alone (can't get a date), and wearing high heels, could I have a guide? I don't want to fall and twist my ankle while being chased by igor...

Is there anything I should bring? Oh, I love tea (Earl Grey?), and I'd like it with milk, please. It may make me a bit hyper though...

Fear not, old ned will provide you with a pair of wellies at the gate, as for an
escort, i think Brewenog is without a partner.
If that is not to your liking i will arrange a second hansom cab.
Please bring lashings of earl grey.

It's ok SOS, not sure about hypatia, but Moonbear and I are both dateless.

I always enjoyed Constant Comment when I was in my teens (orange with a bit of spice).

Wolram, I can come early and help stuff mattresses, and I'm quite handy with a needle and thread. :smile:

I really must learn more about these British customs. I hadn't realized that I only needed to announce that I would be arriving without an escort and one would be conveniently provided. That Wolram chap is quite the considerate host.

Thanks brewnog :blushing: (though I'm not sure about the evil laughter). I thought you were married, and maybe a scandalous affair would get me to level 6 of hell. :smile: Since this is a rather fancy affair, I'll try not to be too much of a wench. :rolleyes:

benji, " my redsetter cross wolfhound"

I do fear the tea may have gone to my good father's head. Either that or he has acquired a new dog in my absence.

[whisper mode]psssssst he's a Afghan X Wolfhound[/whisper mode] :smile:

However the dear chaps culinary (that's cooking , dear me what a mind you have) skills are quite exquisite, albeit unusual :wink:

Well what ever, he is a wonderful creature, and don't think for one minute
that you are getting an invite, unless you want to join Brewenog in the barn.

I'd love to attend, but I don't think I can go without bringing Zooby along, since I'm coming all the way from California and he'd be devastated if I didn't swing by and pick him up.

But I'm not sure that it would do to have a Zooby at a tea party. They aren't very good with delicate things like doilies and cucumber sandwiches. What are the policies on Zoobies at high tea?

Thanks, that would be quite a bit better. Afterall, with those cucumber sandwiches and such short skirts, it could get downright unsanitary. :rolleyes: :redface: :bugeye:

Hey, Brewnog, how often have you had a girl's father suggest the two of you go off to the barn together? :bugeye: :biggrin: Kia must be so proud to have such an open-minded father. :smile:

Yeah. I took it with a pinch of salt, I figured that it can't be that sort of barn. We're probably slaughtering chickens, or something.

Well, I expect that you won't be choking any chickens if Kia is around...wait until she leaves to do that, anything else would be un-gentlemanly. :-p

No worries, Zoobie would love the barn.

Woot! And I get first choice! Got to love a man with a ram that gives tea parties. :!)

What is the average length of a woman's thigh? I tried searching in google and got some rather interesting sites about thigh high stiletto heeled boots. :blushing:

His daughter said, he was her father? But for all we know Kia could be his twin sister?
The internet can be so crule :cry:

Actually, he writes in a very manly fashion in all his posts.

My head feels woozy, just what was in that tea? And why are there so many dead chickens?
